Public Services Card
Dail Éireann — 2024-02-20
============================================================

Heather Humphreys (FG), Cavan-Monaghan

Once the application process is completed, the card will be posted within seven to ten working days. If a person is getting the appointment well in advance of the card's expiry they should be okay.
I will have to take up the issue around the photograph with my officials. We want to streamline this process to allow people to go online and upload the photograph. People want to know that it is the correct photograph and that it has been taken. If it is not taken, the person can experience bother as well. As I said, we are not aware of any delays but if there are any specific instances the Deputy wants to bring to my attention, I am happy to follow up on them. If there is a problem we will find out what it is and deal with it. Generally speaking, the system is a good one and the public services card is a great job.
